World of Warcraft could also be harmed by the 15-month subscription plan it has buy WoTLK Gold. Subscription-based games are dying kind (or evolving rapidly into microtransaction models) With The Old Republic being the final one of them. (Try not to be shocked when Blizzard unveils a new free-to-play commercial model in the coming one or two years.) World of warcraft --an MMORPG that has more than 1 million players signed up for a testing in less than one day--will charge up front (probably $50-$60) However, the game won't require players to open their pockets to continue playing.

Furthermore, games that changed to a free-to-play model have had revenue and usership increases in the process. Following the removal of its subscription requirement in 2010 Lord of the Rings Online increased its monthly revenue by three times as well as its most recent upgrade, Rise of Isengard, set records for the game developer Turbine. It is also possible to look at online shooter APB as proof of the increased involvement in post-subscription settings. A failure as a paid game, online shooter APB relaunched as APB Reloaded and more than 3 million flocked to the title in just one week. To give you an idea, the original APB was able to register only 130.000 players during its time as an online game that was paid for.

However, Blizzard is holding firm to its subscription model. The company recently said that, despite World of Warcraft shedding users and its subscription model for the game was optimal and there are no current plans to make the switch to free-to-play. Blizzard has been testing a free-to play version of World of Warcraft since June 2011 (the Starter Edition), but in this version, players can reach a maximum level of 20 and face a series of limitations. This is hardly an earnest attempt to gauge the players' enthusiasm for the real free-to-play World of Warcraft . Additionally cheap WoW WoTLK Classic Gold, Blizzard already sells premium A-la-carte content with prices of pets that cost $10 and mounts that have a huge impact So why not switch entirely to free-to-play?
